Mandatory Monday – The Essentials I Need in My Life This Week
In honor of Just the Essentials (which releases for Kindle on Friday!), I'm starting a new blog series that I'm naming...Mandatory Monday. I could have named it Essentials Monday, but that doesn't flow nearly as well. Ah, synonyms. Gotta love 'em. What a weekend. After the little royalties hiccup over at Amazon and my car dying… Continue reading Mandatory Monday – The Essentials I Need in My Life This Week
Rough Draft Complete – Just the Essentials
Tonight I wrote the last line of Just the Essentials, the New Adult Contemporary I was working on for Camp Nanowrimo. I didn't complete this Nano. It's the first one I haven't won. That's a little tough to admit, but I am glad I took a step back. With Grace of Vernow's release, the Midlist… Continue reading Rough Draft Complete – Just the Essentials
Camp NaNoWriMo Starts this Week!
I'm pretty sure this coming week is going to be one of the busiest of the summer. Park days, dentist appointments, family visits, a birthday, the 4th of July, and...Camp Nanowrimo are all on the schedule. I've already double booked two days this week on accident. We were going to do a photo shoot for… Continue reading Camp NaNoWriMo Starts this Week!
Just a Little Update
Summer is lovely, isn't it? I am very blessed to able to stay home with my children, so I truly appreciate this time of year. We put away our books and our studies; they play, and I write. It's glorious. Last week I told you I would be working on a fantasy I started awhile… Continue reading Just a Little Update
Works in Progress and the Plan for the Next Two Weeks
It's been a productive week. Grace of Vernow is almost ready for publishing, and I finished my chapter outlines for my Camp NaNo project. I'm waiting for July to start writing it, but there are several weeks to fill. I have a few works in progress that have been shoved aside for The Eldentimber Series,… Continue reading Works in Progress and the Plan for the Next Two Weeks
Meet the Dogs – Gunther and Buttercup
I posted a funny cartoon on my Facebook account the other day about a book signing where the author's dog had more people waiting for his autograph than the author did. I laughed--because how true this probably would be if writers routinely brought their dogs with them. I've mentioned Gunther and Buttercup before, but I've… Continue reading Meet the Dogs – Gunther and Buttercup

Siersha of Errinton Update (Eldentimber Book 3)
As many of you know, I've been working on the rough draft for Seirsha of Errinton, the third book in The Eldentimber Series. Well, guess what--I finished it! Typing out those final words has never felt so good. This book was a little harder for me to write. Unlike Pippa or Anwen, Seirsha was a… Continue reading Siersha of Errinton Update (Eldentimber Book 3)
